Have Dell server running SBS 2000 and using Exchange 2000
as email server. We want to be able to setup an address
list/contact details for all users to access (prefer only
one user to update) when sending email. Have tried
following the instructions, create new address list, r-
click properties, and set users to have read/write etc
permission but when access this list in Outlook get you do
not have permission to add to list error. Can add contacts
through outlook but only shows on that users outlook.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, thanks
in advance.

I'm not clear where you created your address list. What you want to do is create your address list as a public folder. The person who creates the list (i.e., you) has ownership of the folder and its contents. From your Outlook client, you then set permissions for the other users. If you right click on the folder and go to the Properties/Permissions tab, you'll see "Default" listed there with a certain level of permissions (probably None). To allow everyone (except you as the Owner) the same access level, click to highlight Default and then set the Permissions by selecting a level from the Permission Level drop-down box. Usually Editor or Publishing Editor would be the level you would want. You can also set a custom level by selecting or deselecting individual boxes for the specific options. To give individual users different permissions levels, first click the Add button and add the user to the list of names; then with the user name highlighted, set his or her permissions separately. Hope this helps!
